FAQ: Auditorium ProgramsA master of the essay film, Su Friedrich has built an international reputation with dynamic films dedicated to a personal exploration of the self. Her approach, neither didactic nor exclusive, brims with humor and pathos, perhaps the most recognizable elements of her style. A tireless experimenter since the late 1970s and a major contributor to the development of gay-themed cinema in the 1980s, Friedrich's feminist perspective never ceases to reveal the complexities—or question the cultural assumptions—of everyday life. Her films have won numerous awards and have been the focus of retrospectives, including the Museum of Modern Art. Since 1998, Friedrich has taught film and video production at Princeton University.
Su Friedrich in person
Seeing Red (2005) weaves personal rumination, Bach's Goldberg Variations as performed by Glenn Gould, and the visual element of the color red into a stunning work. "Sometimes bracingly expressive, sometimes serenely beautiful"—Stuart Klawans. Through narrative and experimental techniques, The Head of a Pin (2004) investigates the know-how of street-smart city dwellers, such as the filmmaker and her friends, as they attempt to "go back to nature." (HDCam, total running time approximately 50 minutes)
Su Friedrich in person
Friedrich's most recent video, Gut Renovation is an epic personal essay on the gentrification of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A resident for more than 20 years, the artist offers a unique perspective on the transformation of her neighborhood from a community of thriving small industries, working-class families, and other artists into a rezoned, whitewashed environment developed specifically for the upper classes. Discussion with the filmmaker follows the screening. (2012, HDCam, 81 minutes)
